Except a previous post I made about this (http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-cygwin/2002-10/msg00045.php) regarding the checking of "ntsec" and "ntea" variables, there's also a mention about checking the "/etc/passwd" and "/etc/group". You must have them sync'ed with your w2000 user database, and also must check that the user you use to run the backend, has the proper rights (as w2000 user and as cygwin filesystem access rights).
